Blizzard Warning!

The orange is a blizzard warning. The lime green is a blizzard watch. The hunter green (WI and IL) is a winter storm watch. Pink is a winter storm warning. Blue is a travel advisory for snow. Browns are high wind warnings (without precipitation).

Snow will spread across the Midwest the first of the week (more on that later). Extreme cold, in some areas the coldest of the winter so far, will come in behind the snow. Here are the lowest temperatures expected (click to enlarge). The white is the zero line.
